 21 LESSONS FROM GOALS BY BRIAN TRACY 


1. Get Started: Unlock Your Potential—Always remember that your true potential is unlimited. Whatever you have accomplished in life up to now has only been preparation for the amazing things you can accomplish in the future.


2. Take Charge of Your Life—You are completely responsible for everything you are today, for everything you think, say, and do, and for everything you become from this moment forward. Refuse to make excuses or to blame others. Instead, make progress toward your goals every day.


3. Clarify Your Values—Your innermost values and convictions define you as a person. Take the time to think through what you really believe in and care about in each area of your life. Refuse to deviate from what you feel is right for you.


4. Analyze Your Beliefs—Your beliefs about your own abilities and about the world around you will have more of an impact on your feelings and actions than any other factor. Make sure that your beliefs are positive and consistent with achieving everything that is possible for you.


5. Create Your Own Future—Imagine that you have no limitations on what you can do, be, or have in the months and years ahead. Think about and plan your future as if you had all the resources you needed to create any life that you desire.


6. Determine Your True Goals—Decide for yourself what you really want to accomplish in every area of your life. Clarity is essential for happiness and high-performance living.


7. Decide Upon Your Major Definite Purpose—You need a central purpose to build your life around. There must be a single goal that will help you to achieve your other goals more than any other. Decide what it is for you and work on it all the time.


8. Start at the Beginning—Do a careful analysis of your starting point before you set off toward the achievement of your goal. Determine your exact situation today and be both honest and realistic about what you want to accomplish in the future.


9. Set and Achieve All Your Financial Goals—Conduct a complete financial analysis of your life and then decide how much you want to earn in the years ahead and how much you want to be worth when you retire. These goals cannot be left to chance.


10. Become an Expert in Your Field—You have within you, right now, the ability to be one of the very best at what you do, to join the top 10 percent in your field. Set this as a goal, work on it every day, and never stop working at it until you get there.


11. Improve Your Family Life and Relationships—Decide to create and enjoy a wonderful life with your family and the people who are important to you. Imagine an ideal lifestyle and begin today to do all the things that will make it possible in the future.


12. Optimize Your Health and Wellness—Make a decision to live a long, happy, healthy life, characterized by high levels of energy and fitness. Decide how you would look and feel if your health was perfect, and then make a plan to achieve it.


13. Measure Your Progress—Set clear benchmarks, measures, and scorecards for yourself on the road to your goals. These measures help you to assess how well you are doing and enable you to make necessary adjustments and corrections as you go along.


14. Remove the Roadblocks—Success boils down to the ability to solve problems and remove obstacles on the path to your goal. Fortunately, problem solving is a skill you can master with practice and thereby achieve your goals faster than you ever thought possible.


15. Associate with the Right People—Your choices of people with whom to live, work, and socialize will have more of an effect on your success than any other factor. Resolve today to associate only with people you like, respect, and admire. Fly with the eagles if you want to be an eagle yourself.


16. Make a Plan of Action—An ordinary person with a well-thought-out plan will run circles around a genius without one. Your ability to plan and organize in advance will enable you to accomplish even the biggest and most complex goals.


17. Manage Your Time Well—Learn how to double and triple your productivity, performance, and output by practicing practical and proven time management principles. Always set priorities before you begin and then concentrate on the most valuable use of your time.


18. Review Your Goals Daily—Take time every day, every week, every month to review and reevaluate your goals and objectives. Make sure that you are still on track and that you are still working toward what is important to you. Be prepared to modify your goals and plans with new information.


19. Visualize Your Goals Continually—Direct the movies of your mind. Your imagination is your preview of your life’s coming attractions. Repeatedly “see” your goals as if they already existed. Your clear, exciting mental images activate all your mental powers and attract your goals into your life.


20. Activate Your Superconscious Mind—You have within you and around you an incredible power that will bring you everything and anything you want or need. Take the time regularly to tap into this amazing source of ideas and insights for goal attainment.


21. Persist Until You Succeed—In the final analysis, your ability to persist longer than anyone else is the one quality that will guarantee great success in life. Persistence is self-discipline in action and the true measure of your belief in yourself. Resolve in advance that you will never, never give up!

Can 10 Minutes of Meditation Make You More Creative? Whether you are trying to reconcile conflicting stakeholder priorities, finding a solution to a customer’s issue, or launching a new product line, your solution probably won’t come out of a textbook. But it’s hard to keep having great ideas day after day. What do you do when you run out of good ideas?

 5 Lessons I Learned From The Book ‘As a Man Thinketh’ 1) You Become What You Think You are what you are right now because of the thoughts you once had or have. If you want to change yourself, you should first start with changing your thoughts. All the actions of man arise from the hidden seeds of thoughts. Just with the right choice and application of thought, man can ascend to divine perfection; while with wrong choice and application of thought, he can rise below the level of the beast. Good thoughts and results can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.  2)Your Mind is Like a Garden The author creates an analogy of our mind with the garden.

Just as the gardener weeds out all unnecessary plants it is the responsibility of every individual to plant the right see

 LESSONS FROM How To Make Work Not Suck by Carina Maggar. This book is a fun and short book (160 pages), that shares advice on how to deal with the many obstacles young adults face when they get their first job.  Here are a few short key lessons from the book: 1) Everyone Is Winging It Everyone's making it up as they go along. You don't have to have all the answers to do a good job. If you're suffering from imposter syndrome or feel out of your depth, know you're not the only one crying in the bathroom at lunchtime. It's really just a case of who's putting on the best performance. 2) You Are Your Own Greatest Investment Whether it's some software, a gadget, a book or an online course, spending money on expanding your knowledge and skillset will never be wasted. 3) Assumption Is The Mother of All F*ckups Ask, clarify, ask again. Don't fall into the trap of nodding your head and pretending you've understood something when you haven't. It will come
